1. "I believe in nothing". Accessibility into the polarities of ambivalence.

2. This track is a reaction to the humorous 'remixes' of an interview with an inarticulate EDL member.

People with enough passion to take to the streets are rare these days. That the Education system has failed them, that their hearts have been filled with lies, that they are full of bitterness and hate all of these are not their fault but ours; ours for creating a society that marginalises them and allows them to become prey to extremists.

They are not lost to us. We can and should engage with them, try to turn their lifes around but instead we laugh at them and marginalise them further. The idiot foot solder you laugh at today will be pissing on the floor of your parliament tomorrow.
